Um...there wouldn't be anything left but the beat! Unless we count on people to not get the innuendo.

I don't have the widest range of music, and what music I do listen to would be really odd to hear at a robotics competition. So...might as well throw some food in the water and if the ducks don't want it, it'll crumble and sink into post archive oblivion.....

David Bowie - Let's Dance (I've been wanting to hear this one at a FRC for a very long time. Try to play it when 469 operators are on cue (pretty please?)).
Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop (if timed right, this could be really cool. Crecendo intro lasts for approximately 21.5 seconds, enough time for automode)

That's all I've got for now.

[Goober!!!]

Ok there is one song that i want to here
Its from the spongebob squarpants movie
the "Gooffy Goober song"
it fets me LOL

[Merv Burger]

I expect the music to be top notch, and hope to hear many good songs this year.

I'll throw in my one suggestion.

Fatboy Slim - Because We Can

If only because it's rockin' and the sort of stuff you'd expect to hear at a FIRST competition.

So basically from the sound of this thread, all we'll be listening to is classic rock? Now don't get me wrong, i love rock i do, but if we're going to go old school can we at least get some...something else?

The only things I've heard that caught my eye are: Stray Cats, Devo (but please, make it something besides Whip It), The Clash, The Ramones and Billy Idol.

I also liked the suggestion of Song 2 by Blur. Its a good sporting event song. And the Killers And Duran Duran.

But what if you're going for old school, how about The (English) Beat, Minor Threat (haha, sorry wishful thinking there), The Specials (c'mon, if they are good enough to be in Sixteen Candles, they're good enough for FIRST!), Adam and the Ants, The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Or for the kids who dont listen to anything more than a few months old: Underoath, My Chemical Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Fall Out Boy (Who doesnt like these kids now a days, eh?), World/Inferno friendship society, armor for sleep, AFI (my personal favorite band of all time), Tiger Army, Alkaline Trio, Head Automatica (great dance style techno rock), etc?

[Clark Gilbert]

Don't worry... it won't all be classic rock. I'll play some techno/80s/modern too. It just won't be all techno.

Don't listen to that, Clark. Older music is good music.


Brian Setzer Orchestra is old school? I was on my way to high school when that CD came out....thats not old.

Keep the playlists the same as what I last saw, and you should be fine for music
